Join us to the heart of Tenorio Volcano to discover the mistery of the minerals that produces an reaction that makes a natural color river into a marvelous light blue color; right where Buena Vista river and Roble river merge (Both rivers come from the Volcano) there is magic that turns the color of the river as a result of the different concentrations of minerals, the natural chemicals mix cause a reaction between sulfur from the volcano and calcium carbonate from the rain, making one of the most beautiful attractions in Costa Rica. On the tour we will take to the breathtaking waterfall called “Bride’s veil” which is the best part of this adventure, also we will take you to the Tenorio Volcano view point, thermos mineral hot springs and volcanic mud ponds. This adventure is waiting for you, words are not enough; the beauty of this place speaks for itself.

We booked a tour to see Rio Celeste with very little knowledge about it. Our tour guide Gonzales (unsure on spelling) was amazing. There was no question unanswered and he was very knowledgeable and passionate. He didn't rush us and the tour felt very relaxed. We would highly recommend, it was great value for money.

Gonzalo was the guide and he was absolutely amazing. He is so passionate and experienced and has infectious enthusiasm. The hike through the forest to Rio Celeste was one of the top experiences of my holiday. It's unmissable if you are in the area.

I highly recommend this tour. Gonzaro was an excellent tour guide. From the start when he picked us up till the end he was amazing. Was aware of food and bathroom stops.
He knew definitely where all the animals were to find. Sloths, birds, caimanes, turtles all before entering the park.
In the park we saw lots of animals like Tukan, Monkey, eye lash pit viper, green vine snake, Cohati, to name some. Our highlight was definitely the Tapir.
The hike was nice. I like the different path ways. Some steps to do but definitely worth it. The rivers, path, waterfall were amazing. The lunch spot nice and after that we could swim in Rio celeste.
We were blessed with good weather.
We got so much information, it was worth it and I hope you will enjoy this tour as much as we did.

Today we enjoyed Rio Celeste with Jungle tours. The service of the driver and our guide Gonzalo was exceptional. We are very grateful for the experience and the attention provided, in addition Gonzalo is very knowledgeable about the area and has a good eye for finding animals, very professional all the time, we saw many animals, 2 types of toucans, monkeys, a tapir 😍 we also saw turtles, alligators, sloths, iguanas and more.
It is a great tour for nature and hiking lovers since we entered the mountain to see the beautiful waterfall and Gonzalo also explained everything to us about everything we saw, we learned a lot. After the walk, a delicious typical Costa Rican lunch and a refreshing swim in the blue river and right there we were able to see another very pretty bird. Gonzalo, an excellent guide, thank you for everything.

We did the Río Celeste tour with Gonzalo and it was spectacular. His attention was 10/10. We saw many animals including a DANTA. He has a lot of knowledge and experience. 100% recommended and I would do any tour with him.
Thank you Jungle for this magnificent experience!

THE highlight of our vacation in La Fortuna. We did four different excursions and this one was the best. Gonzalo (From Chile!) took every possible moment to explain history, culture, geography and wildlife. If there was an animal along the trail or road - he spotted it and stopped the hike or the drive to explain and/or take photos. Stopped at a small town bakery for pastry and coffee on the way out - excellent! The turqoise waters of the Rio Celeste were amazing. The tour ended with lunch at a family Soda with terrific Casado - traditional meal. Best Frijoles I had the whole trip!

Gonzalo was such a great guide — so knowledgeable and passionate about the place, it’s geography and it’s animal inhabitants. We had a wonderful time! The food at the lunch stop was delicious, as well. Everyone cleaned their plates. Highly recommend.

UNFORGETTABLE!
My wife and I spent our honeymoon in the Costa Rican paradise, and we decided to spend at least one day with a guide to experience the most of the local culture, food, nature & wildlife. We hoped for a memorable experience... little did we know that we would embark on the journey of our lifetime with two of the best, most personable and knowledgable guides we have ever met!
Gonzalo and Mr. William picked us up from the Arenal Observatory Lodge right on time. They introduced themselves and we instantly felt at ease in their experienced hands. We were fortunate enough to have the two of them all to ourselves, and before we embarked they discussed what we wanted most from our journey. My wife and I love nature and wildlife photography, but also hoped to experience the local culture including food, people and scenery. Basically, we wanted it all, haha!
Gonzalo quickly devised an itinerary and together with Mr. William, we set off. The duo seemed to have a knack for spotting wildlife regardless of where we were. While driving along they would pull over to point to a random tree. Sure enough we would be face to face with a durante of toucans, a mother and baby sloth hanging out, or even poison dart frogs! Mr. William knew literally ALL the hot spots of local hole in the wall bakeries, off road adventures and absolutely gorgeous scenic overlooks. Gonzalo being quite the adventurer himself was at home trouncing through the mud and hiking up the climb of the Tenorio volcano with my wife and I.
Towards the latter half of the day we enjoyed a mind blowing lunch with delicious drinks and dessert. The local farm (and friends of Gonzalo) were expecting us when we pulled up, and it felt like we were dining with family. Once our bellies were full we walked just a few yards over to the incredibly refreshing Rio Celeste where we had the river solely to ourselves. An offshoot of the main waterfall (pictured) in the Parque Nacional Volcán Tenorio, this spot had its own inlet where we enjoyed floating around in the beautifully blue refreshing waters.
Just as we thought the drive home would be just that - a drive home - we were in for more of a surprise. Mr. William took us up a scenic drive overlooking the three main volcanoes of the region. We never knew such gorgeous sights existed and it was the perfect cap to a glorious day with two amazing guides. It was sad to bid the duo goodnight, but we look forward to visiting again.
We can't recommend Gonzalo and Arenal Jungle Tours enough. Check out just a sample of some of the wildlife and nature we experienced.
Pura Vida!
